NormanH Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 I have very little money, just enough put by to cope in case of an emergency such as major problem with the roof or something like that, but it is in a Livret A with Crédit Agricôle and it is all I have. I don't want to have problems if the situation in Greece deteriorates, and Crédit Agricôle is very exposed to Greek debt.Now we are always assured that the Government would step in if a bank got into serious trouble and guarantee such as basic account as the Livret A. ( I am well below the sort of figures bandied about a while ago as being the limit per saver) However I am wondering if it might not be prudent to put my meagre mite in the Post Office Livret A instead ( I realise I can't have both) Have any of you financial experts an opinion on whether such an establishment as La Poste is a safer bet than a bank such as Crédit Agricôle in a crisis?As an aside the new Government is talking about doubling the limit you can hold in such an account, but that will be academic in my case...
